I'm happy with my N52K because in the UK, it's £255 a year cheaper in tax than a car with the old N52. With the money saved I could buy a new valve cover every year!

Your description was really accurate. Thank you for sharing all these informations. However, you missed just two points when comparing different N52 generations: 1- the downgraded versions of N52 (US specs) not only lacking the 03 stage manifold & the two DISA valves but they are not equipped too with the heat exchanger attached to the oil filter housing for engine oil cooling. This engine version is mainly dedicated to the 328i models designated N52N. 2- Not all new generation N52 engines equipped with plastic valve cover are lacking the 03 stage manifold. I have an N52K that was installed on a 2009 130i car is equipped with both: the 03 stage manifold with 02 DISA valves and the heat exchanger on oil filter housing. It is noticeable that these two are inter-related: 03 stage Manifold---->more Power---->more Heat----->additional cooling for engine oil is added.

So I got lucky I guess, I got a silver cover from (March) 2006 on a 530 e61, I am led to believe than not having direct injection they are both more sturdy and potentially accepting lpg conversions?

My 2007 E92 325i N52K have the oil heat exchanger installed. Could it be that the N51 is lack of the heat exchanger. I live in Denmark and all N52’s I have seen here have the heat exchanger installed.

I have the N52B30 in the 2007 E92 330i. Now with almost 150k km. Not a single problem with this engine, still on its first water pump, touch wood. I do only 8k km a year though. As we know, indirect injection with no carbon buildup, no HPFP, no turbo failure (normally aspirated) , no overheating. Only one year production run for this N52 in the E92 with 272hp. Then followed by the N53 direct injection also with 272hp. I like to think of it as a bit of a unicorn :-).

U right bro , however the n52 with the black cover has improvements to the head so the ticking stops , and not forgetting camshaft was also improved cause of the bearing. My neighbour has a 2006 323i from new and bmw changed his engine under motor plan because off the same issues. So far his on 240000km only the ccv was a problem which he got someone to repair and re use his vavle cover. I believe the later n52 is more reliable , i heard a 2005 330i n52 and it had a very bad ticking noise.

Is there any way to improve power in this engine without turbo, cutting the head or opening the velves? If I gain something like 30, 40 HP I'd be glad with my bimmer. Happy new year mate!

From my understanding the SULEV models here in the US have the three stage manifold but that it's not activated. I know they were sold mostly in California and I think a few other states due to emissions. I have an 09 328i 6spd manual with the sport package and premium package and love it. Its fast but I want to make it faster and plan on doing the three stage manifold and down pipe in the future along with a blue chrome vinyl wrap. My dream BMW is a 440i MSport though with the B58 in it. Great video and I almost had bought a black with brushed aluminum trim 07 330i 6spd manual but someone bought it before I could. That was the bimmer that got away.😔

Or since I already have the 3 stage intake do I need to tune it or is it already using the disa valves properly ( I have a 2008 328i (black head cover) n51 which I thought was a n52 at first but found out it’s a N51 due to the fact my 328i is a SULEV)

You forgot the headers. They are a lot better in this early model. True 3-1 design with equal length piping. Later models have pressed sheet metal design and are more restrictive.
